Dear Resident:
On Tuesday, February 16, 1982, you are requested to go to the voting polls
and respond to the banding referendum outlined in this document.
The financing of a Communi�y Recreation Center by General Obliqation Bo�nding
is a fair way of guaranteeing that all residents, both now and in the
future, share in cost incurred. With construction and development cost
rising each year and the ever-present energy crisis, we believe action is
needed now.
The Fridley City Council, working in cooperation with the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Commission, has received a positive recommendation as
related to the established need for this recreation facility from an
appointed Citizen's Advisory/Study Ccnunittee. Therefore, you, the residents
of Fridley are being asked to respond.
Whether these plans become reality depends on you and your vote. We urge
you to go to the polls and participate in determining the direction of
Fridley's future on February 16, 1982.

A Gammmity Recreation C�nte� for the City oi Fridle�?
The community recreation center idea we know today was born quietly and �
developed through the past years by the citizens of Fridley. In response to
the ever increasing participation in recreation activities and the vast
demands being placed on available existing facilities, like many other locat
governments, saw the need to provide year-round recreation services to its
residents. Owning no indoor facilities, the city programs have placed
demands on local school districts' facilities to the saturation point. This
fact, coupled with the desire to provide recreation opportunities in the
morning and afternoon hours to meet the varied needs of participants led to
the establishment of a volunteer citizens advisory oomanittee.
The charge to said committee was to advise the Park, Recreation and Natural
Resou rce Cc�unission of :
l. The need for a Cam¢nuni�y Recreation Building in the City of
Fridley.
2. To survey recreation facilities and use statistics for
recreation facilities already in the area.
3. To suggest a plan of action for a recreation facility if the
need was determined,
�
�
Throughout their study, the C4mnunity R�ecreation Building Needs Assessment
Catunittee had numerous meetings, tours of surrounding facilities ancl special
meetings with School District personnel anc7 other leisure serving ager�ies.
On February 26, 1981, the Ca�ununity Recreation Needs Assessment Committee
over--whelmingly voted to recommencl to the Park, Recreation and Natural
Resource Commission that a cmrnnunity recreation center can be constructed �
after a successful referendum vote of the people was obtained. This
referendum vote of the people is to be helc3 on February 16, 1982. Listed
below are polling places in the City.

It is estimated that 90� of the yearly operations/maintenance costs will be
generated fram yearly revenues. The additional 10$ will come from General
Obligation Bonding. Is is not anticipated that monies will be needed from
the City's General Operation F1.ind in future years.
Will State anci Fec�eral cut-b�acks affect tt�is project?
Probably to a lesser degree because of fee schedule. There are no plans to
include or utilize State and/or Federal money in the construction of this
facility. Therefore, there should be no adverse effect.
F�ere vill this facility be located?
Directly south of Columbia Arena and north of 69th Avenue on Highway 47
(University Avenue).
Ti�fiat vill this facil ity mean in terms o� progra� a�eratiac�?
- more opportunity hours

Mr. James Hedron
Acting Superintendent

6000 West Moore Lake Drive
Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Mr. Hedron:
TELEPHONE
November 24, 1981
( 612j5T1-3450
Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to allow me the oppor-
tunity to explain the overall schematic drawings and plans for the
proposed Fridley Community Recreation Center. Hopefully, this orientation
provided meaningfu7 information to you and Mr. Stanton in the event ques-
tions concerning this proposal come your direction.
While exploring alternate possibilities to the proposed plans, it was
mentioned that the district did not have any buildings vacant or land
available to accomodate this type of facility at the present time. How-
ever, depending on future student enrollments, the Junior High facility
may become avaiaable in the distant future (1986 or 1987). Agreeably,
this possibility is dependent upon uncertain changing conditions and
very "iffy" to say the least and, therefore, sfiould not affect a City
bond referendum in early 1982. If you receive additiona] new information
that may influence our present plans, we would appreciate hearing from
you at the earliest possible time.
Please know that the invitation to share the proposed recreation center
plans with school board members and the recently formed citizen's commit-
tee will be greatfully accepted. Our goal is to inform and share all
information about this proposal with as many citizens as possible. I
will await your call as to date, time and place for this meeting.
Once again, thanks to you and Mr. Stanton for listening and sharing with
me.
Sincerely,
��� -��'- ;�-�-�--�-�.�.�.�

The new Kingston (Pa.j {ndoor Recreation Center shows how municipal
recreation services can be delivered in a cost-efiicient manner using
alternative energy sources.
Kingston, Pa., a residential com-
munity of 18,000 residents in north-
eastem Pennsylvania, is using a"re-
discovered" energy source —
geothermal energy — in its new,
51.1-million Indoor Recreation
Center.
The 17,500-square foot facility,
completed in the summer of 1981,
uses geothe�mal e�ergy to provide
heating and air conditioning for the
enti�e bui{ding, and to heat water for
showers. Because of the impfementa-
tion of geothermal energy, the U.S.
Oepartment of the Interior's Heritage
and Conservation Service provided
Kingston with a 5647,500 demon-
stration grant to help with the con-
struction of the facitity.
• The Kingston Indoor Recreation
Center was honored by ATHLETIC
PURCHASINC AND FACILITIES as a
1981 "Facility of Merit." (See AP&F,
Aug.,19811.
Kingston Saw fVeed For
Year•Round Recreation
Kingston, like many other local
governments, saw the need to pro-
vide year-round recreation services to
its residents, in a most cost-efficient
manner. The town had no indoor
facitities of its own, nor was the local
school district able to provide a
facility to fill this gap.
So, in 1971, the mayor and the mu-
nicipal council committed them-
selves to constructing an indoor
�ecreation center which would pro-
vide an opportunity for more than
just a summer, outdoor-oriented
recreation program.
The new Indoor Recreation Cente�
is multi-purpose ir, ;hat it provides a
facility for a variety of "active" and
"passive" recreation activities.
A demonstration grant
trom the U.S. Dept. oi the
tnterior hefped buitd the
center
It includes a gymnasium for basket-
ball, volleyball, running and exercise
classes, as wetl as three racquetball
courts and a weight training area. ln
addition, it has an activities area for
such passive recreation as gou�met
cooking, baking cfasses an� arts and
crafts,
The tacility also includes a N
lounge, a meeting room, an equip-
ment room, locker and shower
facilities and office space.
A mechanicat partition a1{ows the
I� (Continued on paps 881
gymnasium space to be used for
different activities simultaneously,
such as a slimnastics class tor women
on one side and a tots' gymnastics
program on the other.
An exterior ramp and an interior
elevator make the faci{ity completely
accessible for the handicapped. Both
physically and mentally handicapped
take part in activities at the center.
The center is programmed for both
organized sports activities and
leagues, and non-structured recrea-
tion. There are approximately 1,800
users. The annual operating budget is
560,000, or 533.33 per user — a
figure local officials believe to be
very reasonable for a center which
operates seven days a�+-eek from 7
a.m, to 9:30 p.m.
Ceotherma( System
Simpte, inexpensive
By using geothermal energy in the
tacility, the utilization cost of the
center will be reduced by almost b0
per cent of what it N-ould be using
traditiona! energy scwrcc�� such as oif
or electricity.
The center's geothermal system is
relatively simple and inexpensive.
Two weils, one supply and one
return, were drilled approximately

Energy Savings
Are Substantial
What are the energy cost savings
f�om the geothermal systemi Figure 1
compares the energy costs for
geothermal energy with those for the
traditional energy sources for this
17,500-square foot building.
They are impressive figures at to-
day's prices, but as the cost of oil.
electricity and natural gas increase.
the' savings (rom the geothermal
system will become even greater.

The price of ground water, obviously,
will not inuease.
As the cost of a galion of gasoline
approaches S1.50, the recreation pro-
fessionalt are predicting that local
governments are going to be faced
with another di{emma. The price of
gasoline will force more and more
people to recreate closer to home,
The savings from the
geothermal system are
likely to increase as other
prices rise
thus putting adde� pressure on local
governments to increase their recrea-
tional prog�ams. Traditionally,
though, recreation has often been a
tow budget priority which has been
susceptible to early budget balancing
cuts.
The geothermal system offers a
practical way to provide these recrea-
tion services, while at the same time
stabilizing o� reducing program costs.
Ceothermal is not new and has
been used in the warmer climates of
the South and Southwest. But
perhaps if offers the greatest poten-
tial for the high energy cost areas of _

facilities already in the area.
a. Privately owned facilities such as racquetball courts, tennis
clubs, health clubs, etc.
b. Publicly owned facilities such as other city owned recreation
buildings, county facilities, facilities owned by nearby cities,
etc.
c. Determine number, location, some measure of quality or similar
factors.
3. Ta suggest a plan for a recreation facility including:

b. Financing program if any.
c. Suggested timetable.
d. Needed help (consultants, architects, finance experts, etc,).
4. Fina1 report is to be due March 1, 1981.
The Community Recreation Suilding Needs Assessment Committee had fourteen
Thursday meetings, one tour of surrounding facilities and one special meeting
with the principal of the Fridley Senior High School. Following is a summary
of the comprehensive reports presented to the committee which �vere pertinent
in arriving at the final decision of wliether or not i;he City of Fridley needs

POPBLATION
SCHOOLS
The maximum population of Fridley was during the school year 1969-70 at 5,766.
Student population during 1980-81 is 3,672 and the projection for 1981-82 is
3,482. As yet, the current bi_rth increase has not been noted in pre-school
registra�ions and further declining enrollments are projected.

CITY
The preliminary census of 1980 gives Fridley a papulation of 30, 169. The ;tum-
ber of people in households declined from 1970 and 1,2 and 3 member households
have increased. The sr.►aller household trend will cor�tinue and smaller type
home (i.e. townhouses and condominiums) construction will increase. The aver-
age age of Fridley residents is increasing toward middle age. It should be
noted that the final census figures will not be available until April 1, how-
ever, they will just document the above trends.

SEVIGii HIGH FACILITIi;S
Durin� the wint�r month.s (P�ovember-;;arch), there is Ii.ttle oppor-
tunity to allow use of f_acilities by the city, Utiliza.tion charts
show that durin� this time �ymnasiums are in use almost continually
from 7:00 a.m. to 9:3� p.m, daily. 1v:ost Saturdays are booked and
many Saturday nig�ts.
•r�e do have an ur�ders�anding with Jack Kirk that we will� and have,
cao�eraied with him r�hen a scheduling bind �evelops ar►r we can squeeze
some gym time f or hi�. Last year we had regular ti��edne�day night
practices f or Youth �asketball in our North gym.
V�le see litl;le chance of any change in our school pro�rzm in the near
future. �r'hile we will continue to experier,c� enrollrrent decline,
our conference obligations will dictate the continuance of current
progians. It is even possible new programs f or girls could be ini-
tiated to equalize opportunity for boys and girls.
Some or�anizational change is also possible, such as ircluding the
ninth grade at the Senior High, which would only further increase
our own needs for the gym facilities during the winter months.
He would hesitate to take any position on the need for a city facility
because it might be m5.sconstrued a� a school posa.tiori however, it
is obvious that during the winter months the.cc�nimunity could profit
from some additional gym facilities. �
Report from: Jackie Lentz� Chairperson of the District 14 School

clased. Parkview is being used by Community Education. The Count
is leasing the entire Riverwood building. They have a five year ;'y
Iease with option for renewal. Gardena is lea�ed by Faith Academy.
D's. Lentz stated that in late spring or early fall a Ci'tizen•s�Task

COMMUNITY EDUCATION DISTRICT #14
• Following is
by Mr. Tom Tyhra,
District No. 14.
a summary of a reptrr�t given December 11, 1980
Director of Community Education, School
Mr. Myhra reported that two e7ementary schools that were
closed in Fridley have been rented out. Riverwood is rented
exclusively to Anoka County and Gardena is leased to Faith
Academy. District �14 has three elementary schools, one j unior
high and one senior high which he is responsible for renting
out. All schools are used daily until 6:00 p.m. Community
Education is responsible for renting facilities after 6:00 p.m.
on a priority basis. Mr. Myhra stated that the gyms are rented
at all times and there is no free time available. Mr. Myhra
also stated he could use four more gyms durin the school
from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 g year
p.m, to satisfy his requests for gym
space. There is limited availability for classroom space.
Community Education does not provide recreational programs.
Mr. Myhra felt there is a need for a sma11 auditorium seating
250 to 300 for multi-purpose needs.
In general, there is a need for a building including gyms,
T meeting rooms and storage space. Community Education Advisory
Council►vill support a building.
Fri_dley Park and Recreation Report
As part of the committee's responsibilities to seek information on
existin� programs and facilities, the Park, Recreation and Natural Resource
Departn��nt of the City of Fridley was invited to make a presentation.
Dr. Boudreau reported on facilities currently available to Fridley
residents and those utilized for city programs. An outline of these
facilities is presented in the November 13, 1980 meeting minutes.
Primary available facilities are provided by the local schools. The
Park and Recreation Department uses School Districts #13, #14, and �16
facilities to accommodate the current program activities. There are
hov��ever, many shortcomings with this situation. Hours available, proper
supervision as required and limited daytime and weekend use are among some
of the limiting factors when using public school buildings.
•The increased participation and increased demand for services has
created a situation where the Park and Recreation Department is hampered
in ofifering additional quality programs to residents. Some of these
problems were detailed by staff for the corrrmittee and include:
A. Park and Recreation Activities Indoors
1. Aquatics - A total of 6 hours per week are now available at
the Fridley Junior High for Park and Recreation programs.
These are all evening hours.
2. Sports and Athletics
a. Youth Basketball - Boys and girls 3rd through 9th grades.
Presently using 3 elementary schools in District #14,
1 ele�nentary school in District #13 and 1 elementary school
in District #16. This results in 1 hour of practice a week
per team and 1 game. These programs are expanding with girl's
teams added to create additional time needed.
b. Adult Basketball - An open gym format is used - 2 hours with
supervisor. These programs run in the Junior High and Parkview.
Parkview is hard to use because of the small area. All teams
p]ay 1 game a week w�th no practice time.
c. Volleyball - Program increasing but problein once again,
becomes lack of space.
3. Other Activities
a. Square Dancing - Held in an elementary school. Conflicts
arise once in a while witl� school activities.
b. Senior Citizens - All kinds of things going on, but problems
arise because activities are heid in so many different places.
c. Teens - Notliing is held except a few after school activities
wiien facilities are available.
7he Park and Recreation Department discussed sorne of the short-comings
of their programs as being due to the shorta�e of suitable facilities. Quality
of progrims suffer because of inadequate facilities and having to plan around
avai 1 able tirne. Park and Recre��ti on tri es to .,�ork on tl�e pri nci ple that programs
should dictate facilities, not facilities dictate programs as it does no�,r.

Swimming Pool - Sumrnarv/Report
The commiLtee endorses the need for a swimming pool facility and favors
a 50 meter (Olympic size) indoor pool over an outdoor pool (which carried a
lesser majority).
Problems with the use of school district pools are several. Although
the representatives of the various school districts all professed a desire
to cooperate with the city, several problems remain inherent in any such
agreement:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
School pools are limited in size to approximately 45' x 75'.
School curriculum and athletics naturally retain first priorities.
Cooperation varies district to district f rom reluctant cooperation
to whole hearted support.
Financing varies from total progra�..support by the school to total
staff financing by the city when it uses the pool.
Attitucies vary. The prime concern of the school is the school
programs - any other consideration is subject to the whims and
attitudes of the school administration.
The advantages of a city owned pool are as follows:
1. The city can build a pool of sufficient size to run several
programs simultaneously and of sufficient capacity to allow
more participatior, at one time.
a.) 45' x 75' School pool = 3375 square feet
b.) 56' x 165' Olympic pool = 924J square feet
2. A more extensive and varied program can be offered to all segments
of the population at all times of the day.
3. The popularity and success of a city owned pool can best be attested
to by the program offerings and attendance figures of such city
owned pools as Brooklyn Center's indoor pool and Anoka's outdoor pool
(both are 50 meter size).
The following are some excerpts from the committee's minutes:
November 20 - Chuck Boudr•eau - Fridley Junior High School Pool is available
for six h�urs per week. City must pay for pool supervisor and assistant life-
guard/instructor.
December 4- District #13 - Ken Davis - The school district funds handle
the pool and its entire progranuning. They have had to turn down non-residents
for instructional s►,�imming.
Pool Use:
1716 f�ours - School curriculum
340 Hours - School athletics
1328 Nours - Comn�unity service
Open 274 days a year, G days and , nights a week. ��1r. Davis stated that
he does not feel there is a nec.�d for more s4vin�ning facilities. �1r. Davis also
said th�t �n outdoor pool ��:ould be heavily used.

S�IIIOR }?T:PORT
January Q, 1.9f31
The Seniors main concern is a Drop-in-Center, one that would
belong �►Ot to the Seniors alone. Tl�ey need a place to socialize
at all times, r�ot just two meekings a mantli plus one hour of
Congregate Uining daily. The Dr.op-in-Center 47pU1C� accommodat�
a place for meetings, cards', crafts and a kitc}�en and Dining
arca. It would also serve as a storage area ior their particular
needs.
If no permit is issued ior such affairs as Pot LucY Dinners the �
Activity Building would be of no avail to the Seniors, wliich also
was a;concern of the Seniors.
Transportation was another issue, this has always been a problem
but it was pointed out that tile Lions Club bus would be available.
There was a referral to the Drop-in-Center in Coon Rapids and
on lEth & Central Ave. r1. E., 1�inneapolis. The centers are aper-
ated by a grant available to Seniors ai,d possibly there are funds
for this need. The centers include Congregate Dining nlus all
othei Se��ior needs. It k�as suggested that this was khat they
actually �vant, a place of their own t}iat they a�ould have juris-
dict-ion over. The 10� to be �t their discretion as to who and
k•hen the center could be used.
It was also mentioned that the Activity Building would be youth
oriente3� yet, t]iey admitted t}�at they do need a plac� for their
program and k�ould use the facilities in the building.
"_'he Seniors were very concerned over i:he financing of such a
building. They tend to be very co�servative and will oppose a
propezty tax or a bond issue.
Tdy recon�mendation is that tl�e Co:�rcittee take into consideration
ihe passibility of a DroP�ir�Center ox� an annex to the buildir.g
The Corr.mittee could possiblp investigate i.11e financing of such
with � thought of a Senior Grant.

COMifUiVITY SUR��EY SYNOPSIS
The Park, Recreation and Natural Resource Conmission formed a citizen
adviso►y committee for the purpose of developing a reconmiendation as to
the need of a community recreation facility. This committee, in an attempt
to gain additional citizen input, published a si�ort questionnaire survey
form which was mailed to each resident as part of the 4Jinter brochure.
(See attached).
A total of fifty-five (55) responses Hrere received, Of the thirty-
seven (37) positive responses, there was a general desire for the following
spaces: (See attached also).
A. S�Jimming Pool
,B. Gymnasium
� C. Exerci se Room
D. Running Track
E. Senior Citizen Lounge Area
F. Ice Skating
G. Racquetball/Handball
H. Tennis Courts
I. Hobby/Craft Rooms
J. Game Room
K. Sauna/Whirlpool
L. Meeting Rooms/Kitchen
Of the eighteen (18) negative responses, the general opin�cn was expressed
that the city had enough existing facilities to meet program needs and that in
these times of inflation, taxes were high enough. In addition, many expressed
the opinion that existing closed school facilities may be better utilized.
A complete copy of all responses is included.
This survey, coupled with an additional survey of groups/organizations
and civic clubs, provided the corrnnittee with valuable input and greatly
enhanced the total decision making process.
�
2/19/81
SURV�Y.
The Subco�;unittee solicited input from the public-at-large through
two methods:
1. A letter was mailed to 42 local organizations informing
them of the subcommittee's �urpose, and requesting their
reaction as well as th� specific ne�ds of their organization
and how these needs are currently being met.
2. A one-page informational sheet and questionnaire was
published in the Winter City Bulletin which was mailed
to all homes in Fridley.
Neither of these methods were scientifically designed, so only a
summary can be provided.
Of the 42 organizational letters mailed, 8 organizations responded.
Most indicated their needs were adequately being met. One group
felt the need for gymnasiums, ice rink, swimming pool, wrestling
area, and weight room. Half of them mentioned financing and felt
that a building should only be built if Fridley could afford it.
(see Subcommittee minutes of January 15, 1981).
42 responses were received from the Winter City Bulletin
questionnaire. The quantity of response �:as low (about 6 or 7),
so the Par�s and Recreation Dept, asked people during winter
recreation registration if they taould complete the qu�stionnaire.
This questionnaire was more specific in nature than the orgar.izational
letter. The first question was "Do you feel a Community Recreation
Building in Fridley is necessary? Yes or No." There were 28 yes's
a�d 14 no's.
Those who responded "no" were stronglx against the building since
they felt that Fridley had enough faciliti�s which should not be
duplicated, anc�that enough r•.oney has been spent.
Those who resp�nded "yes" wanted an assortment of facilities incZuded
in the �uilding. However, only 12 of the 28 had any comments on
the financing of such a building, and o�ly 6 of those favored a bond
or increasing taxes. (See Subcommittee minutes of January 22, 1981).
The Subcommittee used these surveys to encourage citizen input
and awareness. The responses were used only to supplement the
Subcommittee's information-gathering and did not have a considerable
influence on the Subcommittee's opinion.

ACTIVITIES AND FACILITIES PRIORITIZATION REPORT
Basis of the prioritization is a tally of hands of inembers present
during the January 29, 1931 meeting - 12 tinembers present. The vote tally
was incorporated in the minutes of the February 5, 1981 meeting. Each
member�present voted only once as each facility and its respective
category was read off. �he categories used ��1ere as �ollows:
Weightinc� Used
Desperately Needed 1
Needed 2 -
May be P�eeded 3
Not Needed 4
The categories were subsequently assigned a weight as listed above.
The lesser the �•�eight indicated a more desirable facility. Abstentions
were counted as a non vote. A weight of zero. Other schemes of assigning
a 4` to non vote did not change the over- 1�1 pattern r�aterially.
An activity listing by categories similar to the above was read through
first and voted upon by members prior to the prioritization. It is the
opinion of the writter that this acted as a catalyst in helping to determine
subsequent voting pattern.
For each category of a facility,the product of the hand count and the
weight t-ras summed to obtain an artifical numeric measure of desirability.
Example of the process:
Item F - ldhirlpool
Cate9o�
Desperately Needed
Needed
May be Needed
Not Needed
The 6Jhirlpool desirability measure is then 24.
This process was repeated for each facility.

FINRNCIAL INFORMATION ON RECREATIONAL BUILDI��GS
Sid Inman, Fridley's Director of Central Services, presented to the
Committee a report on approaches to financing capital improvements. Three
probable methods available for financing the construction of a building
are: General Obligation Qonds, Reserve Fund Financing and Federal/State
Financial Assistance. The General Obligation Bonds payment may come from
the �eneral �und and generally this kind of hond issue must be approved
by a majority of voters in a general referendum. P,eserve funds are funds
that are accumulated in advance for the construction of capital projects.
Federal and state financial assistance should be explore� to see if any
such funds are availab]e.
Mr. Inman revie4�ed the financial position of various city recreation
buildings and concluded that almost all operate at a loss. The day to
day operations of these buildings are subsidized from funding sources
such as the General Fund, Revenue Sharing Funds or Enlerprise Funds.
"7ayor h2e presented his opinicns to the Committee on building financing.
He stated that the building can be built without increasing taxes.. There
is money available for capital construction in the Sinking Fund and he
feels that �6,OOOf�00 is an upper limit on the amount that may bQ
appropriated for this building. He suggested that the proposa] would need
a broad base of public support before Council would approve spending the
money.
h1ayor Nee feels �hat we cannot maintain the building without a tax
increase. 4e believes that taxes k�ould not have to be raised more than
one mill to allovr maintenance of the building.

OPERATIONAL COSTS OF A RECREATIOPJ BUILDI��G
�. DATE: FERRUARY 13, 1981
Attached is a cllart showing the approximate increase in
taxes that �vould be paid by Fridley residents using varying
levels of capital bonding and operational costs. The"chart
depicts the annual tax increases for homes �•rith values of
�50,000 to �100,000.
In order to cor�pute the projected incr�ases, I have used
90 mills as the base. Please understard that this mill rate •
,! is a�� approxiniate amount tvl;YCh varies depenr��nq upon the specific
l area the hom2 is located.
Additionally, I have noyr used the 1°Q1 tax figures, arhich
project that one mill �,rill genera�e appr�xima�ely 5173,500 in
revenue.
1n computing the capital bording at;�oun*s, I have based
my calr.ualtions on the prESent bond market conditions. The
actual amc►unt will depend upon the market conditions at the time
�o-f sale. A very general p►�ojection can be ma�e using preseni
T marl;et conditior.s and noting the follo�•jing assumptions: �
a) Int�rest at the time of sale is estimated to be 10�.
b) Life of the bond is estimated at 15 years.
• c) Tnere is no capitalize� interest requirements.
d) Principle and interest pay�rients are equal in all
15 years.
Please ac►vise rne if this infor�mation is sufficient for
your ne�c;s.

P1otion #3:
Recominendations:
I move that the Park, RecrEation and Natural Resource
Co��roission reco�unend to the City Council that be�ore a
Recreation Building be built that they, the City Council,
advise the ccmmunity of the results of the report via
the Sun Newspaper and any other r�eans of inedia.
I move that the Park, Recreation and Natural Resource
Commission recormend to the City Council that before a
Recreation Building be built that they, the City Counci],
90 to a referendum vote of the peop7e.
I move that the Park, Recreation and Natural Resource
Commission recorunend to the City Council that before a
Recreation Building be built that they, the City Council,
discuss with School District #�14 any alternative sites
or facilities that could be used or developed.
The Conm�ittee also recommends that:
a• The facilil:y include three multi-purpose c�yinnasiums (majority
vote).
SUGGESTED TIMETAQLE
The Community Recreation Building Needs Assessment Committee
suggests that the construction of the recreation building proceed
as soon as possible to avoid the escalation of inflationary costs
relative to construction of a building. In order to expedite at
� the lowest possible cost, we feel the following timetable shou7d
` be used as a general guideline. ,
A. Start architectural work inmediately.
B. Have an opinion referendum as early as possible,
preferably by September 1, 1980.
C. If the results of the opinion referendL�n are
positive, construction bids shouTd be sent out
by mid-September, 1981.
D. Construction to begin in the fall of 1981 or the
spring of 1982 at the latest.
Again, the reason for the stringent timetable is to alleviate
any potential rising costs due to inflation and labor.

prorided com�unity education/recreation pro�rt�s in these facilities� especially
the seaior high echools of 13 and 1G which were r�ithin blocks of the city limit.
An argument against inc2uding these programs/�'acilities was that it would be
difficult to l-.nox� how far Srom Fridley facilities should be considered. Another
argument against doins so r�as that we should consz.der only facilities which .
the Fridley Parks & Recreation D�rector has so�e control over. A third�argu-
nent against doing so was that they weren't available to all Fridley residents
on an equal basis. �ob Kelly said he �;anted to aake it cicar to everyone
that if these facilities/pro�rams were included that he thought the coamittee
should not attach wuch importance to them.
Jack i�ansen volunteered to gst the information fron the school districts.
K'illis Un];e tl�ou�ht the cor.�ittee si;ould invite tl�e apj>ropriate school people
to aalce presentations on the facilitie�/pro�rams. It �:as moved by Dean Coleman,
seconded by R'illis Un3te and passed 6 for, 2 a�ainst� and 4 abstentions that
both Jack and �'�illis pursue this matter.

RE: RESPOidSE TO QLESTIOPJS ABOUT PARKS AND REC°FATIOPJ DEP/�RTh1ENT
USE OF SENIOR HIGN FACILITIES
Since receiving your request for information, I have talked �vith
P1ike Leslie, Athletic Cirector; Bob 0'Neill and P,od Snyder. I believe
it is best that Bob and Rod communicate directly with you about the
sa�ie;�ning pool utilization and program. They have agreed to be available
whenever you so desire,
P?ike and I have arrived at the follo�-ring:
1. During the ►vinter months (P;ovember - �9arci�), there is
little opportunity to allovr use of facilities by the
city, pur utilization chart sho��rs that during this
time our g��mnasiums are ir� use almost continually
from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily, h';ost Saturdays
are booked and many Saturday nights.
2. k�e do have an understanding with Jack i:irk that we
will, and have, cooperated with hin� a�hen a scheduling
bind develops and ti�re can squeeze some gym tir�e for
him. Last year t,�e had regular Wednesday night
practices for• Youth Gas�;etball in our P;orth gym.
That will probably continue this year. This was the
only regular available slot in our �ro,ram.
3• l�Je see little chance of any change in our school
program in the near future, l•,'hile a�e will continue
to experience enr•ollment decline, our confere;ice
obligations �vill dictate tt�e continuancc of current
programs . I t i s even pos s i bl e ne►�� prog��ams for
c�i��ls could be initiated to equalize oppo�•tunity
for boys anc! girls.

The Y's pr•iority system is �rorked through other branches and the �ietropolitan
Board, and they cannot violate that.
They do not feel they could cut out any of their programs. The multi-purpose
rooms and meeting rooms are made avai]able to outside groups.
P1ulti-purpose rooms are two to three times the size of the classroom at
Fridle,y Civic Center, The meeting rooms could be divided into three rooms. f hey
have sma11 kitchens to heat up ihings but not facilities to make larye meals.
The Y has experienced an increase in pool usage. Lap svrim��iing and water �
aquatics, especiaTly for seniors, are becoming very popu7ar.
The Y has sonie recreation and some fun type things for senior citizens.
Monies come f rom the following:
65% membership fees and registration;
10 - 25% sustaining member-ship;
12% United 4day - total budget.
_ Funds are nat evenly distributed between branches.
YMCA is alway prepared to cooperate ►vith other agencies. No programs v�here
there is a partnership. St. Cloud and Red Wirg have contractua7 agreements tvith
the cities.
Any recommendations about the Fridley Y would come from the Northeast Board.
There is a strong feel for the northeast area. They have 18 peop7e on the Northeast
board recruited from Anoka, Coon Rapids, Columbia Heights, Fridley, etc. Responsibility
for each board is their oG•�n, not the responsibility of the Metro Board.

This pool is housed in a Comr.^snity Center Fscility. Please refer to the

K�T'E: 1h ere is also a nursery in the builc�ing �r.d a large sun bathing area
adjacent to the pool side. The bc:ildind borders a large Recreation
Field ccnplex currently urcder construction.
As a result of my interview c•�ith 2�1r. t•iavis and a subsequent tour of the
facility, I have noted so�e iterns, of interest:
1) P,ro�klyn Center has a good, co-operative s•�ozkir.o relationship with
the four school districts in the area - Broolclyn Center, Rohbinsdale,
Osseo, and Anoka-Hennepin. The city also runs a swin prograr� at the
r;orthvie��a Jr. High.
2) Pool Racility
4.) The diving area sho�sld be a separate pool.
b.) The {��adin� Pool (tots) recei�res little use. Currently
inv�stigating the feasibility of converting it to a
heated khirlpool.
c.) Lockers, doors, otner hardware in the pool-sho�aer area
should be stainless steel because of the rusting
problem. Controls and ga�es should be on the s.;;me lEVel/2rea
as the pool.
3) Pro�rams
a. ) Ser.ior S;•�i!�nastics is conducted on t•�ednesdays.
� b.) One school district regularly schedules a retarded group
for pool use.
c.) Pool is Iarge enoubh to.schedule more than one group/acti.vity
at a ti�ie.
d.) The handi.can�ed use the Camp Coura€e Facilit}� for several
reasons: conveniently located,90° teMperati�re, hydraulic

APPROACtIES TO FJNAh'CING CAF'JTAL
IhiPRpVEI�E�dTS
There are a nurnber of ways to finance capital improvement projects.
Some of the most comrnon methods of financing capital improvement projects
are as follows:
PaY-As-You-Go
Pay-as-you-go is a method of financing capital projects with current
revenues-paying cash instead of borrowing against future revenues. The
amount available to spend is the difference betF4�een 4vhat is collected
currently and what is required for operating expenses and prudent
reserves.
�ay-as-you-go works well where capital needs are steady and modest an
financial capability is adequate. The method ma include a d
in the budgets of two or more years to pay for projects that ptake�thatns
lorg"to build without borro►ving. The technique can also provide for a
fund for future expenditures built up by annual increments, or by setting
aside unanticipated, windfall income, uritil the balance is large enough
to unde��take the capital improvement. Such a fund, it may be noted, will
earn interest,
Pay-as-you-go has several advantages. Fir�st, it saves interest
. cost. Interest on long-term bends can more or l�ss epual the original
capital cost, depending on inte�°est rates and repayment schedules. Thus,
one can pay '�t�vi�Q�� for a capital improvement even though the annual bill
over an er.tended period is disarmingly low.
Second, pay-as-yeu-go protects borrowing capacity for unforeseen
major outlays that are beyond any current year's capability.
Third, �vhen coupled with regular, steady completion of capital
improvement�, and good dacumentation and publicity, pay-as-you-go fosters
favorable bond ratings when long-term financing is undertaken.
Finally, the technipue avoids the inconvenience and considera�le
costs associated witi� marketing of bond issues-advisers, counsel,
printing, etc.
Despite its favorable characteristics, pay-as-you-go is by no means a
panacea. It has both a practtcal and theoretical disadvantage, with
arguments running such as tt�ose which follo«.
*�dhere capital projects are rarely undertaken, pay-as-yott-go
piits a heavy burden on the project year. It creates awkward,
fluctuating expendii:ure cycles that do not occur with exte��ded
financing.
�" A long-life asset should be paid for by its users throuyhout
its normal 1 ife, rather tlian al 1 at once by ttjose who may not
-1-
Putting f;Oq�'ther bo!�d issues :for public sale is complicated. Rond
adviscrs, consulting f i►-ms tl»t are in the L,+�siness of helping
municipalities plan �nd market long-term bond issuc,s, may be used in
preparing boyid issues.
Pond advisers are of two kinds: those wh� assist but do not bi1�' or
sell bonds, and thosc� FJho both assist ar�r1 al;o buy and se11 bond issues.
Fee structures, as well as the objectivity of the assistance, may be
influenced by the differing relationships. If you coni;emplate advi,ory
se�°vice, you should obtain and evaluate propo�als for both types of roles.
Short-Term f�otes
When local capital projects do not lend themselves to �ay-as-you-go
or bond financing� SOR1° towns and cities turn to short-term notes issued
by local banks or state-wide banking establishments.
Advantages of short-term notes inc�cle;
*a substantial lump-sum can be borrowed at the moment of need
and repaid in installments over the next few years;
*a prospective bond issue can be shorten�d in years and redur.ed
in amount with consequent interest savii�gs; and,
*interest on notes is generall_y less than interest on bo�ds and
ther� ar� no rnarketinq co�ts su�,h as those for bond couns�l,
printing or puying agents.
There are no appreciable disad��antages to this approar_h other than
the interest cost of the temporar,y borrowing. Flo►vever, such borreti�:ir,y is
not permissible undei° some state la�as or municipal charters, so check
those legal restrictions before taking action.
Joint Financing
An ever-increasing number of cities and co�anties are finding that
there is a benefit to both jurisdictioi�s for joint development of a
project. The construction of city-county office buildings, development
of joint sanitary lan�fill sites, and obtaining county funding for a part
of the costs of ambulance and fire figl�ting equipment (in exchange for
service to rural areas) are examp)es. This avenue of funding should be
explored.
Reserve Funds
Reserve fu�d financing is a variation of the pay-as-you-go method.
Under thzs pracedure, funds at�e accumulnted in advance for the
cunstruction of capital projects. Th� accumulation nay result from
surplus or "e3ra�arked" operational revenues tl�at are sei: aside,
depi-eciating accounts, or from the sale of capital assets.

SENIOJ: REPORT
Janiiary 8, 19E1
The Seniors main concern is a Drop-in-Center, one that would
beloi�g 904 to the Seniors alone. They need a place to sacialize
at all times, not just two meetings a month plus one hour of
Congregate Dining c3aily. The Drop-in-Center would accommodate
a place for meetings, cards, crafts and a kitchen and Dining
area. It would also serve as a storage area for their particular
needs.
If r�o permit is issued for such
Activity Building would be of no
was a concern of the Seniors.
aff_airs as Pot Luck Dinner_s the
avail to t-he Seniors, which also
Transportation was another issue, this has always been a problem
but it was pointed out that the Lions Club bus would bE available.
There was a referral to the Drop-in-Center in Coan Rapids and
on 18th & Central Ave. N. E., i�iinneapolis. The centers are oper-
ated by a grant available to Seniors and possibly t}iere are funds
for this need. The centers include Congregate Dining plus all
other Senior needs. Zt was suagested that this was what they
actually war�t, a place of their own tnat tliey w�uld have juris-
diction over. The l0o to Le at their discretion a.s to who and
when the center could be used.
It kas also menti.oned that the Activity Building would be youth
oriented, yet, they admitted that they do need a place for thcir
program and would use the facilities in the building,
The Seniors were very concerned over the fznancing of such a
building. They tend to be very conservative and will oppose a
property tax or a bond issue.
A'1y recc�mmendation is that the Committee take into consideration
the possibility of a Drop-inCenter or an annex to the building
The Conr►ittee could possibly investigate the financing of such
with a thought of a Senior Grant.

CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order by co-chairman Jack Hansen at 7:35 p.m. on
January 22, 1981.
ROLL CALL:
Members Present: Jack Hansen, Mary Ellen Storley, Jim Klingle, Donna Hambleton,

Others Present: Chuck Boudreau, Park and Recreation Department Director;

Jackie Lentz, District #14 Schoel Board Chairperson.
BUSINESS:
Co-chairman Hansen introduced Jackie Lentz, Chairperson of the District #14
School Board.
Ms. Lentz reported the usage of the three schools that have been closed.
Parkview is being used by Community Education. The County is leasing the entire
Riverwood building. They have a five year lease with option for renewal. At this
point, it looks iike an on-going lease. Gardena is leased by Faith Academy. They
have an 18 month lease with the option for a two year renewal. Either party in the
lease may choose to get out of the lease, with a penalty.
Ms. Lentz stated that in late spring or early fall a Citizen's Task Force
will be appointed to study the possibilities of going to a middle school concept.
-'. If this concept is adopted, a fourth grade school would be closed, probably within
� 18 to 24 months. If any of the closed schools become available, the school bo r
has stated they have no problem with selling or leasing the building, a d
If the Task Force convenes in the spring, their recommendation should be
� in by the first of the year. If they convene in the fall, recommendations may
be by April.
Another possibility to be looked at is going to a six period day instead
of a seven period day.
Ms. Lentz stated that people are not exactly lining up at the door to lease
vacant facilities.
Two years ago it would have cost the City approximately $90,000 to lease
Parkview School.

Mr. Boudreau also stated that the curling club would like to invite the
committee to their winter carnival activity on January 30 and January 31st in St.
Pau]. They will be playing from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday and 9:00 a.m.
to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Mr. Unke and t•1r. Hansen expressed interest in attending.
Mr. Boudreau will contact the curling club and let them know that one to three
people will be attending.
It was suggested that in our presentation, we go in with two alternatives:
I - Ultimate building;
II - Scaled down with expansion;
We should start with the basics and add on features.
At the January 29th meeting, we will be discussing the Activity Priority
sheets. Co-chairman Hansen requested that everyone make a special effort to be
at this meeting. He would like full participation on the activity priority.
The agenda for January 29, 1981 wil] be:
a. Mayor William Nee;
b. Activity Priority Sheets;
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 8:56 p.m.

COMMUNITY PARK COMPLEX
Today's changing attitude toward the worthy use of increased leisure time
has led to a greater participation in local park and recreation activities.
This increased participation and demand for services has created a situation
that causes park and recreation departments to carefully evaluate present
facilities and programs with an eye to the future.
In 1976 the City of Fridley began neighborhood by neighborhood surveys
to gain insight as to the range and complexity of recreational interest within
the City. This "grass roots" approach provided the impetus for a concept plan
for additional needed outdoor/indoor recreation facilities. The concept plan
was developed in two parts.
� Part 1: The pro osed
p pro�ect for out�dnar facilities would provide
six (6) ]ighted ball fields and four (4) lighted football/
soccer fields with a central restroom, storage, concession
and pressbox building.
Part 2: A proposed community recreation center to include facilities
as deemed necessary by a citizen's advisory committee was
included because of the lack of sufficient existing indoor
faci]ities for large group activities.
With a firm plan in mind, City staff set out to accomplish the task of
finding ways to see this idea become a reality. To date, the following steps
have been taken and support has been gratifying.

Unke: Does not feel that the committee evaluated needs properly. Feels
conunittee erred in excluding gym and pool facilities outside the
borders of Fridley. Refuses to participate in a vote for or
against a building because he feels the City and our parent
comnittee have not shown any evidence to us that we are proceeding
in the right arder of sequence.
K1_ inqle: Favors buildings 1, 2 and 3 with exceptions. Feels multi-purpose
rooms could be expanded for senior citiien annex. Should down
size pool. Auditorium cauld be incorporated with gyms. Not
enough use to justify separate auditorium.
R an: Basically for buildings 1, 2, 3 and 4 with exceptions. Smaller
pool, smaller auditorium. Should have facilities for senior
. citizens. Likes indoor tennis courts.
VanHulzen: Sui1ding should be a center for Fridley, something for all ages.
Favors building 1 with two gyms desigr�ated for indoor tennis.
Building 2- scaled down pool, facing south with a glass wall and
sun deck associated with outdoor plaza. Building 3- one sauna,
co-ed. Make meeting and lounge area larger. Nursery in building 1
not needed, possibly a youth or tot center vrith activities. Make
